Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

The entire group became more worried when they heard from the werewolf that some of the strongest magicians in the fight against the monsters were on the side of the vampires.

If the former Temple Master of the Congregation of Revelations had made a deal with the vampires, it no longer mattered. The temple had lost most of its high-ranking members and was already on its way to being destroyed by the war started by the vampires.

However, if Nixlas' Shadows and other Dark Path factions were associated with vampires, it was very important and worrisome.

Besides vampires and other types of powerful monsters, the continent's magicians would also have to deal with powerful Dark Path magicians!

This was simply terrifying!

"If that's true, maybe the resurrection of the Cataclysm Order won't be well received." Lina commented, having already thought enough about the order's secret posts to realize that Vicente's actions would lead to the resurrection of the order, eventually.

But would the magical community would welcome the people behind the new order?

"It doesn't matter. Our goal is not to seek approval from anyone. We don't need people's support. We'll do whatever it takes to achieve our goals, even if a part of society considers us allies of the monsters," Vicente got right to the point, not liking the reality of things, but having no choice but to follow this path.

He looked at Layla and said. "When we get back to Seidel Kingdom, I want you and Jasmine to find a way to join the strongest survivors of the temple. I want to know the truth about this group. I strongly suspect that the higher-ups are concealing some very troubling information."

lightsvεl m Everyone looked at Layla, while she herself was skeptical and concerned about her religion. She believed in the things they had taught her. But after being attacked and now hearing the werewolf's comment, she couldn't help but be interested in finding out the truth.

Her goal was not to expose the corruption of the Congregation of Revelation, but to uncover the truth behind the rumors and perhaps separate these negative stories from her faith.

"All right, I'll do my best." She agreed and expressed her opinion. "But I'm sure there are reasonable explanations for all of this. I have a feeling it's all just a misunderstanding."

"I hope so." Rory sighed.

"Let's look at the positive side of the situation," Vicente commented after a sad sigh. "Now we can attack Nixlas' Shadows without mercy. The bastards deserve to die!"

Everyone there had to agree on that. For now, they understood more than ever that their action in saving Lauren would not only not harm the magical community in the fight against the vampires, but would also weaken the enemy's side.

The werewolf remained silent for most of their conversation, finding the origin of this group curious but not interested in delving further into their past. Its plans were to have these people as its allies until it got what it wanted. After that, they would all go their separate ways, and it sincerely preferred not to see them again.

...

Several hours later, the group arrived at one border of the Valley of Lightning as night gradually took over the day, signaling the group's proximity to their destination.

As night approached, the werewolf moved faster, quickening the group's pace as it made its final recommendations.

The 6th-stage manticore they were hunting was especially powerful at night because it was a creature of the Dark Path, and it usually grew stronger at night. However, that was also the best time to attack it.

Why was that? The Manticora was so much stronger at night that it didn't take the same precautions as it would during the day. It was more accessible and vulnerable at night because it was in its strongest and most confident state.

Vicente's Throne of Darkness would also be stronger at night. Since they would rely heavily on his second magical form in the upcoming battle, the group had to attack at night.

Vicente's strength greatly increased after absorbing the power of the two pentagrams. He had improved two of his existing essences and gained two new powers. But not only that, he had also solidified his foundation and reached a new level with his first and second gems.

The present him differed completely from the young man who had started the battle against the Behemoth!

Still, Vicente was at the same level as when he fought the Behemoth, and he didn't have as many advantages over the previous battle. If he didn't focus on attacking Manticora with his second magical form, his chances of winning would be slim.

The enemy was stronger than the previous one, but it would also be more attentive to Vice and wouldn't give him the same chances as the Behemoth. Thus, as the group progressed, its members became more tense and focused on finding the enemy and surviving the battle.

After the night mission, there would only be one more stop in the northern region before they returned to the Seidel Kingdom.

So when the group approached an area of fog, where the elements associated with darkness were denser than in the other areas they had passed through during the day, they slowed down, walking in battle formation.

Vicente's robotic armor was more alert than ever, helping its wearers check their surroundings and act quickly if necessary.

Torne was in Vicente's mind space. Even though the others already knew about him and there was no need for him to hide, it was better for him and Vice to fight together.

Even if Vicente had become a Paragon, Torne's mana could still make a significant difference to him in a deadly battle!

So the ghost was in position, ready to merge his powers with his master's as soon as necessary.

"Keep your senses sharp. I can sense the enemy's aura," the werewolf said in a low voice, since it was the first to sense Manticora's aura because of its higher cultivation level in the group.

It became more tense, circulating its energies throughout its large body to prepare for the battle that was about to begin.

"I will say this one last time. Stay vigilant about the poison produced by Manticora. Do not let it sting you under any circumstances. Even I will die if I get hit! Otherwise, good luck in battle!"

With those words, it slowly stopped, making the group repeat its behavior before they gradually saw the monstrous body of Manticora circling its own territory.
